“I saw Bryn recently. He was on his quad bike and I was cycling. We waved to each other to say hello. He was a very pleasant young man. As a child years ago he had a small business selling eggs and we would have a chat.

“He has many friends in the area and did a lot with the Young Farmers. Also with the Llanrhaeadr show, he used to help with the running of the poultry section and contributed a lot of his time, fair play. We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the family.”
